Pitney Bowes Opens Regional Headquarters in Singapore
Pitney Bowes Inc., the leading mailstream technology company, today announced plans for expansion in the Asia Pacific and Middle East region with the opening of its regional headquarters here.
The new 3,500sq ft headquarters, located at Keppel Towers, will be a strategic hub providing a comprehensive suite of mailstream hardware and software solutions, and services for the region. It will provide support to the Pitney Bowes’ offices in Asia Pacific markets such as Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and Thailand, as well as the Middle East.
Pitney Bowes employs 1,000 people in the Asia Pacific and Middle East and the region currently contributes approximately 10 per cent of the company’s non-US revenues.
Said Patrick Keddy, Executive Vice-President and President, Pitney Bowes International, “With the setting up of our regional headquarters in Singapore, we will be better placed to support the many global corporations and local companies who are setting up offices or are already here in this region. The Asia Pacific and Middle East will be a significant market for us and we expect to double this region’s contribution to global sales in the next five years.”
Eric-Yves Mahe, President of Pitney Bowes for the Asia Pacific and Middle East region, said, “Singapore was the natural choice for our regional headquarters not only due to its central location which provides convenient access to our other offices in the region, which for us, includes the Middle East, but also its excellent infrastructure, business-friendly policies as well as highly skilled workforce. The impending liberalization of the postal sector in the region also poses opportunities for Pitney Bowes to grow and expand our operations.”
Pitney Bowes is well positioned with an all encompassing suite of business solutions as well as products and services for document creation to production, distribution and management. With the recent formation of a new Pitney Bowes Software organization, created by the merger of Group 1 Software, a leader in enterprise data quality and data integration software, and MapInfo, which specialises in location intelligence software, data and services, Pitney Bowes is well poised to provide the most comprehensive and accurate consumer and business-to-business data for marketing or business transactions.
